I got my Weber Kettle BBQ from the Sunshine Garden Centre. And that is also where I got this recipe.

  4. Refrigerate for AT LEAST 3 hours, turning occasionally
  5. Pour the remaining beer into the roaster cup

  7. Using the spike, insert into the base of the chicken and place over roaster cup
  8. Place the infusion cap over the neck
  9. Grill on the roaster until 180º C internal temperature (over direct medium heat for 40-50 minutes; using indirect method for 1 to 1 1/2 hours)
  10. Halfway through grilling, spoon the excess marinade back over the chicken

Notes

Although originally "Beer Can Chicken" literally cooked the chicken on a beer can, this recipe assumes you have a chicken roaster accessory supplied by Weber.
